Minor Glitches ubuntu 10.0.4

[loukingjr]

I'm running Ubuntu 10.0.4 in VB 3.2.8 on a Mac host. I get the update BIOS error mentioned elsewhere but it doesn't seem to affect anything. I also get a graphics glitch, two diagonal lines of blocks after the splash screens but before the desktop shows. Neither seems to be a major problem as the VM does run. But if I fix these problems, would it actually run better?

almost forgot, 75% of the time when I start the VM Auto eth0 does what it should and connects me as it should. but once in a while in doesn't connect and I have to connect it manually from the drop down menu.

thanks

well, the graphics glitch seems to be because I had 3d acceleration checked. if I turn it off it goes away.

The network part is probably a bug in Network Manager. If you would configure the network manually to use DHCP, then it would work no matter what. Put something like this in /etc/network/interfaces:

Code: Select all

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

This is basically what Network Manager does, but sometimes fails to do.
